I have recently updated my operating system to the latest stable by Xiaomi EU (by updated, I mean I have wiped and fresh installed the latest one).
All is well however the official Google Maps app is "not compatible with your device" now in the Play Store.
All other apps install just fine along with some other Google apps I use like Translate.
Does anyone know why this has happened?
I have also wiped and fresh installed previous versions of the Xiaomi EU builds in an effort to get this working but no luck.....Weird because it no longer works on builds it HAS previously worked on..
Thanks for reading, and thank you in advance for any feedback.

It seems a Google bug affecting chiron. Just change device's fingerprints. I choose Pixel 2, but you can use Mi Mix 2s, as you wish. You should be able to update or install Google Maps.

You are awesome, thank you.
Kinda unfortunate about the bug, means no matter what ROM we use it's gonna be the same. Hopefully they fix soon.
I have the same issue... but help, how to change device's fingerprints?

I just checked the play store and the bug seems to be fixed!
If you still have the issue, download a build.prop editor and change the device's build.prop file.
You'll need to change the parts which state the model of the phone for example "device name: chiron"
By changing this to something like "Polaris" (Mix 2s) instead of "chiron" it will trick Google.
Edit: You will need to be rooted. And I recommend BuildProp Editor by JRummy Apps
It's solved!
Which MiUI.eu version installed on your phone?

Right now, 9.3.28 (beta) but this was a Google issue, not a ROM issue.

I just got a Mix 2 in China and got the google play store installed from the Mi App Store. Everything works fine except for Netflix...
Whenever I try t load the app, I get "Device Failure" or "The app needs to be restarted" errors.
I have tried clearing the cache and re-installing the app, but nothing changes...
Anyone else see this issue before? Does it have something to do with getting the phone in China or is it possibly just an issue with the current MIUI and Netflix versions?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Yeah, I got the same issue with the Chinese ROM. I suspect it is because Google Play services is not a system app, but sideloaded. Did you register your device with MIUI.com and request a bootloader unlock? Go do that.
In three days you can unlock and load up MIUI EU ROM or EpicROM that will have Goole Play and safetynet preinstalled. You might also want to install Magisk to hide the unlocked bootloader.
Same
Having the same issue here, waiting for the 72hrs to pass so that I can flash the EU rom
Didn't Netflix announce recently they would block unlocked phones?

Follow those guides.
I might write up some simplified instructions in the next couple of days, but that should handle what you need to do.
I don't have that problem with EU rom.
This seems to be an issue with the Chinese ROM but I had been able to fix it by sideloading an April version of the Netflix app from APKMirror.
Youtube TV doesn't work either.
I got the same problem with chinese rom, i've installed Xiaomi .eu 7.9.22 rom and it works fine now.

yes it is fixed with the april release of the netflix apk...! thanks dude !
Thanks for the replies! I side-loaded an older version of the Netflix app and I can at least watch now, but downloading is not working...
I tried to flash the global rom and made a mistake with using the MI Mix 1 rom, so my phone is totally bricked now... Looking into options for recovery...
Hi everyone! I just got the mi mix 2 and I´m experiencing the same problem.
I just applied for the unlock code (72h I guess?) and downloaded playstore through the mi store and then I downloaded netflix.
I got the 500.-1006 error. Did the global rom fix this issue?
Thanks
Hi there guys! Just flashed the global rom! I can´t download netflix on this rom now...on chinese it appeared to download.
It is because of the unlocked bootloader?

Possibly. Just flash Magisk.
I'm considering changing ROM to Chinese and want to know if someone from the "West" uses it regularly?
I don't think so, at least not without modifications to the original chinese rom. Not only the rom is chinese, you can't change region settings. And some apps refuse to run on chinese locale.
I'm using xiaomi.eu rom. It's based on the chinese version of miui but made for europeans.
You need to add Google Play Services and the chinese rom is only in Chinese and English.
I do, because I like the virtual SIM option. I also sideload Google Play Services and remove some bloatware. Works like a charm!
As Chinese, I don't recommend you to switch to chinese rom, There maybe many functions only used in China, your apps maybe innormal to work.

I haven't used Google Pay because in my country it's no use.
However, I have played around with it before and I got it to run. Did you pass both safetynet checks? If you do you should be able to make it work.

Honestly, I have been using it for over 6 months with minimal problems. I am also rooted, which allows me to remove bloatware or other functions that I really don't need.
The only problem I have encountered is the OneFootball app, when it updates throught the Mi Market it crashes on launch. But this can be fixed by disableing auto updates and just updating it through the google play store.
Battery life is also SO MUCH better on the Chinese Stable / Developer ROMs, but I still can't figure out why exactly, I suppose it has something to do with Google Play Services.

i've tried 14, 15, 16, google pay never works. I guess the main issue is from gapp.. but no idea how to find right gapp to use...
The way I installed is through a restore of a backup from Allbackup, the standard MIUI function. If you want I can upload it.
Hello everyone
I think I found a temporary solution for the "OK Google" feature issue in google assistant for Redmi note 8
I tested it in my phone and it's working and I'll be happy if you did the same test to tell me if it's working
what you need is a rooted phone and a file explorer that support root (or any method that will let you change a system file) , I did 2 changes is Build.prop that can be found in \system\ after reboot I went to activate the OK google option and it went enabled and working.
the changes I made were in the lines :
ro.product.model=
ro.product.brand=
in the 1st I put samsung and in the 2nd S10
I wonder if anyone can test and give me a feedback.
**I still have the MIUI Global 11.0.4 I didn't install the latest update yet**

Update : after installing the last MIUI Update 11.0.6.0 the feature was disabled again, I checked the build.prop and the 2 lines I changed went back as previous, I had to make the change again and clear the GOOGLE data, after reboot I restored the OK GOOGLE feature .

On the other hand, it's absolutely ridiculous that this is something that needs to be done in the first place. Maybe they can incorporate it into the Xiaomi.eu builds in the future?

google or xiaomi was waiting for us to be able to fix this bug ahahha thanks to the user of the forum ssamurai who had found the XD method immediately after google releases the official update coincidences ... hihiih let's laugh about what is better
The baked-in Google services work mostly,, but two weak spots are left:
1. I didn't get Google maps work with the Mi Fit app in Germany - it just doesn't display the map. However, it tracks the run even if it says in the beginning that the GPS signal is weak..
2. The German Corona Warn App doesn't connect to the corresponding Google services with the error message:
com.google.android.gms.common.api.ApiException: 17: API: Nearby.EXPOSURE_NOTIFICATION_API is not available on this device. Connection failed with: ConnectionResult{statusCode=UNKNOWN_ERROR_CODE(39501), resolution=null, message=null}

Hello,
Just installed LineageOS 18.1 (scorpio) + Google apps and noticed that the search in settings doesn't work at all. I can type words in there, but they are never found. Any clues?
TIA
Works fine here, LOS18 on X00TD, YTX703L and s5neolte without GApps.
To find the culprit: Did you try copy-paste (instead of typing)? Re-install? Or get rid of Google, just try vanilla LOS (even though that worked with GApps for me some weeks ago for S5Neo).
edit: Perhaps some older version would work?

Hello,
I typed the words in. not copy/paste. Tried with boath Google keyboard and swiftkey. Also tried to clear Settings app data. None worked. I don't want to downgrade because I need Android 11.
